Former NBA forward Lamar Odom was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a weekend traffic stop near Las Vegas, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Trooper Shawn Haggstrom said the 46-year-old was pulled over Saturday on Interstate 15 close to Harry Reid International Airport. Odom could face allegations of DUI, excessive speed and failing to maintain a travel lane, Haggstrom added.
Authorities did not list an attorney for Odom, and a message sent to his sports agent was not immediately returned. Clark County jail records indicated Odom was no longer in custody by Tuesday.
Odom won NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009 and 2010 during a 14-year career that also included stints with the LA Clippers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.
His 2013 marriage to Khloe Kardashian drew tabloid attention and led to a reality television appearance before the couple divorced later that year. Odom was also arrested for DUI in Los Angeles in 2013 and was hospitalized in 2015 after a medical emergency at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada.
